Haro Strait Tomography Experiment, WHOI Component

Abstract

The goal of the Haro Strait Tomography Experiment was to develop and deploy an integrated ocean sampling network capable of simultaneous remote and in-situ measurements using multiband acoustic tomography and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), respectively. The project involved four groups: Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution was responsible for the tomography moorings and acoustic data acquisition; MIT Sea Grant operated the AUVs and processed the tomography data; University of Victoria operated a low-frequency tomography source; and Harvard University provided dynamic modeling. The integrated network was deployed in Haro Strait, British Columbia in summer 1996 to map a fast moving tidal front.
